On a sunny day, Liuji Hotpot Beijing Branch was officially opened. On that day, the two sisters Deng Wanjun and Deng Wanru brought a group of friends from the military district, and Fang Xu brought a group of soldiers on leave to support her. Xie Xuan also invited the sisters in the dormitory to come and congratulate Liu Yanran.
Well, Tang Xiaoxiao is gone. After the last military training, Xie Xuan took Tang Xiaoxiao back home. She didn’t know what happened, but Tang Xiaoxiao moved out of their dormitory and never appeared in front of them again except for class.
But from what others said, I probably knew that she was kicked out of the Xie family because Xie's father said that if Xie's mother didn't kick Tang Xiaoxiao out, then he would kick her out with Tang Xiaoxiao.
Tang Xiaoxiao is also not allowed to communicate in the name of the Xie family anymore, otherwise she will be sent to the public security bureau. After all, Tang Xiaoxiao has done a lot of things outside in the name of the Xie family over the years. If you really make a fuss about it, she will be skinned alive if she doesn't die.
It wasn't summer yet, but Liu Yanran felt like everything was reviving, and the sour smell of love was everywhere. Not to mention her fourth brother Liu Guoxing and Deng Wanjun, she had also been the one who came up with the idea.
But who knew that Gao Zhonghua and Li Hua were actually together at some point? The little girl Meng Yao blushed when she saw Yan Lei (Instructor Yan) and always stole a peek at him inadvertently. But maybe because Instructor Yan always had a dull expression and no expression, Liu Yanran didn't know what he was thinking.
Liu Yanran suddenly missed Gu Shijing very much. She had been busy recently and hadn't called Gu Shijing for a long time. She didn't know if he had gone out to do a mission recently. Liu Yanran was not someone who would let herself be wronged, so she called Liu Shijing immediately.
Liu Yanran sat by the phone, hesitant. She knew calls to the military district were monitored, but she couldn't help but want to hear Gu Shijing's voice. Finally, her longing overcame her shyness, and she dialed the familiar number.
Gu Shijing's deep and magnetic voice came from the other end of the phone, and Liu Yanran couldn't help but blush. She bit her lip slightly and said softly, "Hello, it's me."
Gu Shijing felt a surge of warmth in his heart when he heard Liu Yanran's voice. He asked gently, "Yanran, what's wrong with you? Is there something wrong?"
"Why can't I call you if there's nothing wrong?" Liu Yanran said coquettishly, "I just wanted to ask how you've been lately."
Gu Shijing nodded, and then thought about Liu Yanran on the other side of the phone who couldn't see him. The corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he said softly: "Everything is fine."
"By the way, there is one more thing I want to tell you. Do you know? My fourth brother Liu Guoxing has a girlfriend! They look like a good match, and I am so happy for them." There was a hint of envy and blessing in Liu Yanran's tone.
Gu Shijing heard the change in Liu Yanran's mood. He smiled and said, "Really? That's great. I hope they can be happy forever."
Liu Yanran sighed softly and said, "Yes, I also hope that they can be happy forever. But sometimes when I see other people in pairs, I still feel a little envious."
Gu Shijing was silent for a moment, then said seriously: "Yanran, I..."
However, before he could finish, Liu Yanran interrupted him: "Okay, let's not talk about this. Are you busy with work recently?"
Gu Shijing smiled and said, "Not too busy. How about you?"
"I'm fine, but there's a lot going on at school." Liu Yanran replied.
Gu Shijing listened quietly on the other end of the phone, laughing from time to time. He could feel Liu Yanran's happiness and excitement, and he was happy for her.
"Yanran, is the military training hard? I asked Yan Lei to take care of you." Gu Shijing said.
"Haha, I'm speechless when it comes to this. Instructor Yan has been very kind to me. I almost thought I had a grudge against him." Liu Yanran pretended to be angry.
"I forgot that bachelor Yan Lei may not know how to take care of a little girl." Gu Shijing seemed to suddenly remember something and chuckled.
Liu Yanran gripped the phone tightly, biting her lip, her eyes flickering with a hint of entanglement and hesitation. However, the emotions deep in her heart finally gave her the courage to whisper, "I miss you."
Gu Shijing on the other end of the phone shuddered slightly after hearing this, and his expression softened instantly. The corners of his mouth lifted, revealing a warm and doting smile, and he softly replied, "I miss you too, Yanran."
For a moment, both of them fell into a brief silence. Although it was just a few simple words, the longing between them spread in the air like a tide, as if it could penetrate the distance of time and space.
After a while, Liu Yanran broke the silence first, and said with a hint of concern in her voice: "You must take care of yourself." Her words revealed her worry and concern for Gu Shijing.
Gu Shijing nodded and replied firmly, "Don't worry, Yanran, I will take good care of myself. You should take good care of yourself too."
After that, the two of them fell into a warm silence. They enjoyed this rare tacit understanding and emotional exchange, as if they could feel each other's presence and warmth through the phone.
After hanging up the phone, Liu Yanran's heart lingered for a long time. She sat quietly on the sofa, her conversation with Gu Shijing replaying in her mind. Although they were thousands of miles apart, she could sense his care and love for her over the phone. This feeling warmed her immensely and reassured her that, even in distant places, their bond remained unbreakable.
Liu Yanran gently stroked the phone in her hand, as if she could still feel Gu Shijing's warmth. The corners of her mouth unconsciously lifted up, revealing a happy smile. At this moment, her heart was filled with sweetness, and she was full of anticipation for her future life.
Just then, a sudden commotion erupted outside. Liu Yanran came to her senses, stood up, and walked to the door. Opening it, she saw several young men and women standing there. One of them, a handsome man, smiled politely and said, "Excuse me, do you have authentic Sichuan hot pot here? We came all the way here just to try it!"
Hearing this, Liu Yanran smiled slightly and responded enthusiastically: "Yes, welcome! Please come in!" As she spoke, she stepped aside and motioned them to go into the store.
Seeing this, the young men thanked Liu Yanran and walked into the restaurant. Seeing their excitement, Liu Yanran couldn't help but laugh, thinking that these people must be hot pot lovers. Then, she turned back to the kitchen and began preparing the ingredients to welcome these special guests.
They walked into the store, their eyes scanning the surroundings, a hint of admiration in their eyes. "Boss, your store is really quite unique!" one of them couldn't help but exclaim.
"Haha, thank you for the compliment! You can find a place to sit down, I will prepare hot pot for you." Liu Yanran responded with a smile.
Before long, the steaming hot pot was served on the table, and everyone gathered around the table to enjoy this delicious meal. While savoring the delicious ingredients, they chatted happily, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
